I heard some of yall need to be punished, so here it is...

Can yall remember a less exciting build-up week for UGA/UF? It feels like we're playing vandy this week, which for us is probably a bad thing since we lost to vandy ( ) I figured we might as well try to generate some discussion for this shite sandwich though, just to pass the time I guess. I originally started breaking down the matchups for both teams, before I realized that I simply don't know too much about UF this year. So I'll talk about us and yall can fill in some of the new visitors on your team.

OLOur starting center has been hurt this week, big surprise. He's supposed to be back for Saturday so we'll be going with our normal lineup. However, that lineup is not very good. Run blocking is alright, pass blocking suspect. I expect an average day at best.

QBMurray is healthy. He is one of the best QBs we've ever had, but seems to shite himself in Jacksonville until the 4th quarter. All 3 years he's come up with huge plays in the final period. Let's hope he doesn't turn it over 3 times before then.

RBFINALLY some good news on the injury front, in that Gurley is back to practice going full speed. He had a high ankle sprain which is no joke, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't 100%, but even still, he's the best we have. Douglas is a power runner that will get yards but has fumbled in 2 extremely costly situations, and JJ Green is a quick, shifty guy that is alright but came in as 3rd string for a reason.

WRWe're in bad shape here. We've seen that when Murray only has 1 target, we are atrocious. Everyone was excited because Michael Bennett was slated to be back for UF to pair with Chris conley, then Conley got hurt on the final play 2 weeks ago. So it'll basically just be bennett to worry about. Reggie Davis is an unproven TFr, and Rantavious Wooten has been been hurt and not practicing this week. Behind them are 3 walkons, 2 of which have never caught more than 1 pass. Lord help us against UF's secondary.

DefenseThey aren't worth a positional breakdown. DL has actually been a pleasant surprise. We moved the only Senior on defense from DE to DT and it seems to be working, and Ray Drew and Sterling Bailey at DE are flourishing. Herrera and Wilson at ILB are solid, but will make a mistake or 2. They are always around the ball though. Jenkins and Floyd at OLB are young but are both excellent at rushing the passer. Still make young mistakes though.

CB is awful. Swann is having to do a lot more this year so has regressed big time. Langley and Wiggins are True Freshmen. Dawson, who got PT last year, has not seen the field this year. This is scary. S we've been without our 2 starters for most of the season. 1 is still out, but the other, true freshman Tray Matthews, looks to be back this week for the first time in about a month. The other safety spot will either be a walkon or a true freshman.

The areas I'm most curious about are UF's lines and your receivers. I know we won't have success passing much with your secondary, so hopefully we'll be able to run a little. The past few years against UF, or at least the games we've won, we've come up with a big turnover or crucial stop at an important time. Momentum would be swinging and we'd come up with a pick or a fumble recovery. I don't see that happening this year, because our D simply isn't causing turnovers. We have 2 interceptions all year, 1 against north texas and 1 against vandy. We have a few fumble recoveries, but some have been drops by the other team. I'm not sure we'll be able to create any takeaways saturday.

Dline is ok without Easley, but hardly generates a pass rush anymore. Teams have had success running up the middle on us without Easley.

Receivers have been a pleasant suprise this season, when the ball is thrown there way they make they catch and make a move. Cant ask for much more then that.

Oline is terrible. Worst OL I have ever seen at UF, we got 2 guys that are decent to good at run blocking and thats it. Pass blocking doesnt exist at UF this season. If yall bring the heat every play yall would probably get about 10 sacks and 15 qb hurries, no joke.

I'm not talking about it this week. I'll be at the game, and I'll be shite faced drunk by 8 am. I can't handle any form of hype or anticipation for the game, because I refuse to be disappointed again darn it. I'll just go anticipating we lose, that way a loss doesn't crush my saturday.

This thread is the first I've heard that, but like I said I haven't kept an eye on UF much. I figured we'd lose the battle in the trenches on both sides, but this gives me up we can hold on our with our DL.

quote:Our DL is a shadow of what it was without Easley.

They should still get the better of our OL. They aren't very good and our center will be coming off an injury and limited practice time. Our LT is too slow and we keep trying to play a guy on the right side over someone who is better than him.

quote:Gurley is going to have a field day.

If he's 100% I'd agree, but who knows. Our pay site was saying he still wasn't ready to go against vandy even in an emergency situation. That was 2 weeks ago, but high ankle sprains are notriously tough to come back from.

quote:I'm hoping Taylor will have one too

I expect him to have a great day.

I know yall are down on your offense, but every QB we've faced all year has looked like Joe Montana. North Texas is the only offense we've faced that we held in check. You name it..Vandy, Tennessee, etc...have all looked stellar against our crap D.

UF's OLine played like absolute dog shite vs LSU and MO. It's been bad all year, but those two stand out.

True about HAS injuries. I do expect him to play, though.

Man those DLs are great though, and MU has 2 of the best DEs in the league. While our DL has been somewhat of a surprise, we aren't on that level.

quote:True about HAS injuries. I do expect him to play, though

He's most definitely playing. My only concern is how healthy he is, and it wouldn't shock me considering our luck if he only plays like a quarter and sits out again. If we go to war with Green and Douglas as our only ballcarriers, plus having only 1 good receiver, we're done.

UF's secondary will be the deciding factor in this game. I don't care how bad you think your D is, if we can't throw at all (which we couldnt' on frickin vanderbilt), there's no reason to expect us to score much.

UF's O-line might be the worst in the SEC. No exaggeration. It's our worst unit.

Our WRs are decent. Nothing special, but serviceable. Patton has come a long way, and Dunbar and Burton are solid. It's been almost impossible to get them the ball with our OL, though. We also have no TE to speak of.

No you don't understand. LSU was known for it's shite defense this year and their fans were looking for any silver lining. LSU fans got optimistic about their defense AFTER playing us. And then they lost to Ole Miss and had a close game at the half to Furman. That's how bad our offense is. It is really, really bad.
